Dealing with Divorce Issues and Judgment

 

The Divorce Process
A basic guide to the legal process behind ending your marriage.

Part IV -- The issues you need to deal with and the Judgment

by Jeffrey Cottrill

The issues

Money and property:
Who gets what? What items and accounts legitimately belong to you? Who should keep the marital home ? Who gets which car? How about the cottage? The family business? The pets?

Many states classify property owned by the spouses as "marital" or "separate" -- the latter meaning that the property belonged to one spouse before marriage or was a gift to one spouse. The goal of property division is "equitable distribution" -- meaning an even division of assets and debts. If you negotiate asset division with your spouse directly, be clear about which items are high priorities to you and which ones you would be willing to let go.

The more financially complicated your divorce, the longer this will take, and you'll likely need an accountant , a business valuator , a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, a Financial Divorce Specialist, or a financial planner to make sense of all the assets involved.
